With only 17 beautifully appointed rooms, Portofino is undoubtedly a haven of tranquility, where guests will enjoy the subtle sounds of the nearby waves lapping over the reef, gentle breeze, breathtaking sunrise, star studded night sky and spectacular views of the crystal waters of the Caribbean Sea. The perfect setting for a romantic getaway, intimate wedding, honeymoon, and perfect vacation for family and friends.

Portofino offers leisure options to suit every taste. Relax on the beach, in our ocean hammocks or in our fresh water outdoor swimming pool; enjoy a great book from our book collection or simply indulge in an exotic beach massage under our hand thatched Palapa. Explore the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea by embarking on a kayak adventure to the famous Belize Barrier Reef, located just a few minutes away from the Resort. Savor our delicious meals prepared by our resort chef which can also be served in the privacy of your beach cabana or suite, on our private dock with a romantic dinner setting or at the Portofino Restaurant. Sip on amazing tropical cocktails at the Green Parrot Beach Bar or perhaps indulge in a late afternoon snack and try our Tapas Menu.

“Portofino is a wonderful little resort on Ambergris Caye. It doesn't have a ton of rooms, and that is a good thing. What it does have is tons of charm, great island flavor, and an excellent staff! The setting is gorgeous, and they offer almost everything you need for your trip- from diving and snorkeling to golf carts and bikes to towels and beach chairs. ” tripadvisor user: hoghey
